Chapter 76: So cool! Angry at Li Ziyan!
Li Ziyan was so frightened that she lost her soul and hurriedly explained to Su Luo: "Luo'er...this, this, this...I don't know!"
If Yun Xueya really died, I wonder how much criticism she would have to bear!
The good reputation she had painstakingly built up in the capital for so many years was completely ruined!
Yun Xueya, you can't die now!
"This is all your fault!" Su Luo's eyes were bloodshot.
Li Ziyan was so visibly disheartened by the glare that she pinched her handkerchief tremblingly and argued, "Luo'er, don't be so unreasonable! If...if your mother really died, it's...it's because she was too fragile...don't blame me...yes, that's it, you can't blame me at all!"
The more she said this, the more she felt she was right: "If I can decide someone's life or death with just a few words, then wouldn't I be more powerful than the King of Hell? Life and death are all your mother's choices, you can't blame anyone else!"
Li Ziyan was well-known for her eloquence among the ladies. Looking at Su Luo's young face, she sneered inwardly, "Fighting with her? No way!"
She has walked across more bridges than Su Luo has walked on roads!
Seeing that Su Luo was silent, Li Ziyan thought she was losing power and showing weakness, so she took advantage of the situation and attacked her. Instead, her words were filled with some unpleasant accusations:
"Luo'er, you can't act recklessly just because I dote on you, my good temper, and my kind heart!"
"To be frank, your mother's decision to commit suicide is entirely your fault as a daughter. You're such a talker, but why couldn't you persuade her to live? Why did she still choose to die?"
Su Luo still didn't speak, but there was a hint of strange sarcasm between her eyebrows that Li Zi Yan couldn't understand.
Li Ziyan's face looked normal, but she felt something was wrong.
"Uncles and aunts, did you hear that? And maids and guards, did you hear that too?" Su Luo's eyes flashed with a sharp smile as if a knife, and she looked at Li Ziyan, "This is my mother-in-law's strange logic."
Su Luo looked at Song Lian: "What do you think, Butler Song?"
Song Lian's eyes were extremely cold. "If anything happens to Madam, Miss Seven can take her to court for instigation!"
"You!" Li Ziyan slammed her sleeves, pointed at Song Lian's nose and angrily scolded, "The master is speaking, what does a housekeeper like you have to do with it?"
"It's a work contract, not a life contract. Since we are equal, why can't we talk?" Song Lian said coldly, "You'd better pray that my wife is okay, otherwise..."
After saying these harsh words, Song Lian hurriedly ran towards the main courtyard.
"Is this the upbringing of your general's mansion? You can even interfere with a small housekeeper at will? Luo'er! Can't you vent my anger for me and teach this damn housekeeper a lesson?" Li Zi Yan was quite excited!
If this was the housekeeper of her mansion, he would have been chased out and beaten to death with sticks!
"Uncle Song Lian is the housekeeper specially hired by my mother. Not only my mother, but even I, a member of the Su family, have no right to interfere."
Su Luo chuckled, "My mother is depressed and ill. Logically, she should stay at the Su Mansion and relax. If that's the case, why did you come to pick me up and go to the Marquis' Mansion today?"
"I……"
Li Ziyan's face turned ashen, with a hint of anger!
Su Luo retorted wittily, "Mother, you have a good heart and are kind-hearted. You should have persuaded my mother to live. So what's the point of instigating my mother to commit suicide?"
"I...I didn't instigate anything!" Li Zi Yan was so angry that she growled with an ugly expression!
"Also, what was your intention in inducing my mother to accompany my father underground? Knowing she was vulnerable, you repeatedly mentioned suicide! What else could you possibly mean if not ulterior motives? Even a three-year-old child would understand this, so why wouldn't my mother understand? If she did, why would she act so knowingly?"
It turned out that Su Luo's silence before was not a sign of weakness, but she was deliberately waiting for her to say those words and leave her with a handle!
Li Ziyan was so angry that she was fuming. She never expected that she would be tricked by this little girl.
"Good! I never realized you were so gloomy!" Li Ziyan scolded him with gritted teeth, "You don't look like a wife or a daughter-in-law at all!"
At this moment, the voices of servants talking could be heard all around.
"This lady from the Marquisate is truly amazing. She can really confuse right and wrong with her words!"
"I don't know if she's stupid or just evil! After what Miss Seventh has said, who wouldn't be able to tell that she's instigating the General's wife to die?"
"She's still trying to quibble! Quibbling is fine, but she even dares to accuse Miss Seven!"
"How abominable! What a good job of passing the buck!"
"What do you think she's thinking? The Seventh Young Lady is an orphan, and Madam Su is suffering from depression..."
"Could it be that they want to..." Eat up the whole family? Everyone thought so, but did not say it out loud.
Listening to those discussions, Li Ziyan was almost going crazy!
She turned her head, without even seeing clearly, and cursed without thinking: "A bunch of gossips! How dare you talk about me? You bunch of vile things! Shut up right there—"
As he was cursing, he suddenly saw the faces of these seven or eight women clearly!
Suddenly, Li Ziyan's face changed drastically, and her angry expression instantly turned into shock and panic, followed by embarrassment and awkwardness, with her toes digging the ground!
These women were standing behind her, and when she heard the voice, she thought they were just the brave maids of the Su Mansion. But when she turned around, she saw that they were dressed in luxurious clothes, surrounded by pearls and jade, and their every move showed that they were pampered. It was obvious that they came from wealthy families.
At this moment, Su Luo stepped forward with tears in her eyes, bowed slightly to the ladies and apologized: "A quarter of an hour ago, my mother wanted to invite you ladies to play mahjong, but she didn't expect..."
She was unable to speak and said, "You just arrived and saw my mother-in-law scolding me..."
These ladies have been neighbors who have lived on the same street for more than ten years. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and they all have a very good relationship.
In fact, Yun Xueya didn't invite them to play mahjong at all. It was after seeing Li Ziyan instigating her mother to commit suicide that Su Luo asked Yun Ran to invite them to the Su Mansion and planned to expose this scene.
Among these ladies, one is the wife of the Minister of the Imperial Household, one is the wife of the Minister of Rites, another is the mother of the Inspector-General, and the rest are also prominent figures. After all, how low can their status be if they can live in the imperial city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money?
Li Ziyan suddenly felt ashamed!
Everyone's husband is in the officialdom. If these people hear what Li Ziyan did today, it will be known to everyone in the imperial city within three days!
Li Zi Yan looked at Su Luo with anger. This little bitch really scared her today. She was so well behaved before, but it turned out that she was just pretending?
Why was she pretending? Was she born rebellious, or had she realized she was being plotted against?
Impossible! Li Ziyan subconsciously denied the latter. After all, she was so good to Su Luo, how could Su Luo notice it! That could only be Su Luo's personality problem! She was just pretending to be so obedient before!
Li Ziyan's mind was in a thousand twists and turns. She quickly lowered her posture and gave the seven ladies an embarrassed smile: "Actually... it's not what you see... Madams, you have misunderstood!"
"It's really because my wife is too difficult to manage and too unreasonable."
Li Ziyan pinched her thigh fiercely, her eyes instantly red as she pleaded, "Luo'er, please stop making trouble. I'm kneeling down for you! This is my first time being a mother-in-law too. I don't know how I might have offended you. Please stop making trouble."
"What a powerful move!" The Inspector Censor's mother was an old lady in her seventies, her hair white but spirited. Her wrinkled eyes were majestic and penetrating. She sneered, "We're both women, don't think I don't know what the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an is thinking!"
Li Ziyan's expression almost collapsed, and her eyes, which were sparkling with tears, darkened!
"I have something to say to you too! I've walked across more bridges than you've walked on roads! I've used all these little tricks before! I heard exactly what you did to Seventh Miss just now!"
"Are you meddling too much? Are your eyesight blurring out? At your age, why don't you just stay at home and rest instead of playing mahjong at someone else's house?" Li Ziyan could no longer tolerate it.
"Seventh Miss! Come here! I will protect you!"
The Inspector Censor's mother threw the cane in her hand heavily to the ground, making a thrilling "clang" sound!
The old lady sneered and stared at Li Ziyan: "Seventh Miss's eldest brother was once my granddaughter-in-law's fiancé. Our two families have had quite a relationship. Although the Su family is now short of people, they usually do good deeds and accumulate a lot of good karma! It's not something that your Jing'an Marquis Mansion can easily control!"
Su Luo wiped her tears and walked over obediently, and nodded loudly!
The next moment, someone from the second house came running over to announce, "The Prince Regent has arrived!!!"
Everyone looked shocked. How come this evil god came here?
